with the measurement until hearing something
approach, he turned and saw the steer coming
at him full speed, head down and about
twenty yards away Mr.. FIowerdew was

have got hold Of the maddened br,te, aud
backward and forward they struggled. The
steer was 8 years old Fioweriew is tall
and powerful man. For over half an hour
the struggle continued. All the while Flow

where he secured a heavy club. When be
got hold of this he had little better show,
and commenced to pound the steer over the
head and nose, which he stood and suffered
but the minute the pounding stopped his
steership charged and had to be beaten off.

knocked Flowerdew to the ground AL
though the animal WAS fast failing from loss
of blood it gored its victim very seriously.
Fiowerdew's injuries are pronounced fatal.
